In this article the author takes the short story by Isak Dinesen ldquo;The Blank Pagerdquo; as an enacting of the feminine position in relation to sexual difference and the logics of Not-All developed by the psychoanalytical discourse of Jacques Lacan. This position is situated beyond the phallic logic in the unspeakable blank between the letters. The Freudian uncounscious is signified in an exemplary way in the blank page in front of which the subject stands still.
